Leak at the shower first
A shower that drips from the rose, weeps at the wall plate or soaks the floor at the tray has three different origins. The photos should show the mixer, the rose and the floor edge.
Bathroom plumbing in Somerset West for leaking showers, basin and bath supplies, waste runs and like-for-like fitting swaps — quoted from the room you have, not a renovation brochure.
The plumbing in a Somerset West bathroom is the hot and cold into the mixer, the waste out of the tray, and the cistern behind the pan — not a design brief for a new suite. This page covers a leak at a shower mixer, a basin that will not hold a waste, a bath trap that weeps into a cupboard, or a like-for-like swap of fittings when the room is being refreshed. We do not invent a bathroom-reno service. We quote the pipework, the isolation and the fittings that have to move or be replaced. What we need is which room, which fitting is failing, and whether the water is already off at a local valve. Photos of the mixer, the trap, the cistern and the access panel — if there is one — are more useful than a mood board. A house in Somerset West and a compact bathroom in Strand can need the same parts and completely different opening. Name the suburb and who will be on site.
A shower that drips from the rose, weeps at the wall plate or soaks the floor at the tray has three different origins. The photos should show the mixer, the rose and the floor edge.
A basin swap that ignores the trap height, or a bath that ignores the overflow, comes back as a leak. We will look at both sides of the fitting.
If you want the same layout and a sound set of connections, say that. A layout change is a different quote and needs a sketch, not a guess.
The work is assessed according to use, condition, access and the result required.
Send the address or suburb, the bathroom plumbing requirement, approximate extent and a few photos. The reply can then focus on the actual Somerset West site.

This page is plumbing — supplies, wastes, mixers, cisterns. If you are ripping a room out, say so and we will tell you what plumbing we can quote. We are not inventing a renovation service.
It can be the mixer body, the connections behind the plate, or the waterproofing at the tray. A photo of the plate and the floor edge helps us say which conversation to start. We will not guess a tile-off from one wet mark.
Often, when the new mixer or waste matches the centres you already have. If the new fitting needs a different spacing, that is extra opening and belongs in the quote before the part is bought.
Hidden-leak finding in Somerset West when the meter still turns, the bill has jumped, or a damp patch will not dry. Isolation, meter check, then acoustic, thermal or tracer work as the layout allows.
